Sodastream cola was never disappointing as a child. I didn’t know any better.

Make her watch 3-2-1 and she’ll never want to do an 80’s themed day ever again!

Play some tapes on a boom box.

Get your daughter to wear leg warmers and plastic jewellery in bright colours.

If you have a local sweet shop, buy 2oz of sherbet pips.

Do the conga, birdy song and Agadoo dances.

Have a game of marbles.

*I was a child in the 80s (age 7-17) and did all these things.

Flick through an old Argos or Littlewoods catalogue & pick out some toys and a bike and a hifi or something and make a Christmas list

All the old Argos catalogues are online. You could print one out

Watch an 80s film. I’d suggest Short Circuit, starring as it does the man who’s career coincided exactly with the 1980s, Steve Guttenberg.

Or Back to the Future. Or Flight of the Navigator.
